Rectifying Oversight: 'Phosphated Wheat Starch' Included in Union List of Novel Foods

May 10, 2023

The European Commission has identified an error in the Annex of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 and has taken steps to correct it. 
In May 2014, the United Kingdom competent authority authorized the novel food 'Phosphated distarch phosphate produced from wheat starch' (phosphated wheat starch) under specific conditions of use, in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 258/97. 
However, due to an oversight, this novel food was mistakenly omitted from the Union list during its initial establishment. To rectify this, included 'Phosphated distarch phosphate produced from wheat starch' in the Union list of novel foods.
